About Registry Rapper

Registry Rapper is a template for allowing the use of programs that save their settings to the reigstry as portable applications. First it will check the registry for settings of the program and then save them if present. Then it will write the settings for the program to the registry, run the program and then rewrite the registry settings to a file for later use. It will then delete the settings from the registry; removing any trace of the program. Finally rewritting the original current local settings back to the registry.
This program is a registry encapsulation program, which takes care of all the registry settings a program might need to run and make sure nothing is left behind on the host system. Allowing programs that were not created is portable (i.e saving their settings to .ini files within the program folder) to be used as portable.

Added PROGRAMDIRECTORY Setting in the .ini file for use with creating self named program directories

Updated Readme.txt file with new additions and changes

2006.03.15

1.0

New Editions:

Added Built-In registry search functionality which uses the company/developer name, the program name and the executable name to try and find the registry settings for you. If it cannot find it in those three places, it will use the manual registry key you supply to it in the regrap.ini file. This search checks the KEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE key for the information as most software store their settings there

Changes:

Majorly overhauled the code with error checking and feedback messages for users if problems are found
